Great War

[Keziah2]

I am doing some research on our village Roll of Honour in advance of the 11 Nov & am looking to find some info on some of those commemorated. There may be several of these requests in the next few days/weeks but any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Looking for info/clarification on service records primarily.

The first is one George Thirkettle Brown - b 1891 in Yaxley, Suffolk the son of John & Eliza BROWN.   D: 1918?

Thanks in advance

Thank you both very much for your help.  The record in our church records him as being in the rifle brigade so I think we can safely say the CWGC record is the one I am looking for.
